Check out my original music, including my new 2nd album "Halfway to Somewhere" I also upload weekly VLOGs following my life as a professional musician. I bring nearly 40 years of guitar playing experience to my videos about playing live, playing guitar and gear talk. I also have many video lessons, reviews and live videos to enjoy. You may have already heard my guitar on TV, Radio or film or played my compositions in music exams so I'm explaining some of the tips and tricks I use every day.
Cory Wong Music Man Stingray 2 - Could I have one with single coils please?
One of the new bits of gear announced at NAMM 2025 is the Music Man Cory Wong Stingray II. I think it looks amazing.....but I want one with single coils.....no humbuckers!

How does this show compare to a Joe Bonamassa show costing ten times the price? Gig review.
Переглядів 451День тому
If you like nerdy middle aged men playing the guitar then there are at least 2 options available in the south of England at the beginning of 2025. Joe Bonamassa is playing at the Brighton Centre which will cost about £115 a ticket.....or my show with my band last week which was £12.50! #joebonamassa

Stevie Ray Vaughan Style 2 Amp setup - One driven and one Clean. I finally did it! Live footage
Переглядів 2,1 тис.21 день тому
For years I've been trying to work out how to run a 2 amp setup in the way Stevie Ray Vaughan did to get his huge tone. He ran Fender Vibroverbs or Super Reverbs along side a Marshall Major or Dumble Steel String Singer. I'm using a Marshall JCM 800 and a Milkman Pedal Steel Mini as a similar but much quieter solution! #dumble #srv #guitar
After spending buying £20K worth of guitar amps I go back to my first ever Marshall JCM800 valve amp
Переглядів 3,6 тис.Місяць тому
I decided to take my Marshall JCM 800 1x12 combo on a gig recently after it had been sat unused for 20 years in my garage. It turned on and worked perfectly.....and I loved playing through it. I go through my amp journey chasing that tone in my head.....and how it has brought me full circle! #marshallamps #jcm800 #guitargear

UAD Lion, Dream 65 and Ruby Plugin Reviews. Sound amazing but there is one big problem #uadplugins
Переглядів 2,1 тис.Місяць тому
I go through the amazing sounding presets on the UAD plug in versions of their classic amp emulations (Marshall Plexi, Fender Deluxe Black Face 65 and Vox AC30) both on a Strat and a Les Paul.....and an EVH guitar for the Brown sound on the Marshall. I'm really impressed with the sound but for me there is one big problem with them all! #universalaudio #uafx
Is Joe Bonamassa charging too much for his tickets? People outraged in comments on Facebook ads

The posters for the Joe Bonamassa gig next year at the Brighton Centre are everywhere in the area I live. Judging by the comments on the Facebook ads I keep getting presented, people are outraged at the prices. My money saving solution to this issue is to suggest that if you like watching middle-aged nerdy men play the guitar then come to my show in the same area in January next year! Tickets h...

Hey! May I ask has this power supply been reliable for the Quad Cortex? Has the Quad itself been reliable? Have a nice day!
Thnx!! You've just convinced me to get s standard EVH. This demo was certainly an eye opener.👊🏾👍🏾
Lovely
I have bromo aswell. Only cost 99€
Perfect! 😂
Excellent playing mate,I love Cory's playing and you do a fantastic job of imitating him. I also agree with you the Strat is the way to ho go if you want that authentic funk sound, although the I think the humbucker guitars also sound gr8, but just a different flavour..
A string tip I learned from the 1990s when I had the PV Wolfgang, Eddie put the strings in backwards so the ball would be at the locking nut take your string push it through the tuners at the head stock bring it down to the tremolo cut the string to the length you want pinch it into the little saddle And the ball of the string will be locked up against the tuner then tighten the string and the ball automatically cinches the string you don't have to cut it crimp it or nothing like that, works amazing
Couple of items TJ ; - Should anyone plunk down what the Eagles, or Mariah Carey - whom is a documented lip sync'er - are charging? Let alone McCartney whose voice has been in shambles for 20 years now. Absolutely not. - However these " xyz band is faking" videos are a cottage industry now on YT. Money is involved it obtaining views on the video. Fil / Pegasus has some audio meter graphics posted in which he says Henley is using the same recording of his voice for multiple concerts. But the problem is you have to trust Fil, that he is not putting the - same - graph up for side by side comparison, claiming they are from different performances. But he gets hits on that video, and there you have it... - Now, was Walsh using a sequencer to purify and sustain his last note there "stay"? That is pretty clear if you have the ear to decipher it. Lindsey Buckinham has been caught out doing the same, and Carey for 20 years now on that wicked last note of "We Belong Together". So is the whole industry a gambit now to defraud and overcharge fans who just want to see a live performance? Clearly there are bad actors, and that could also apply also to YT'ers who might be glomming on to a famous performer, sliding the audio track askance from the video track on an A/V app, in order to claim the performance was fake. When Fil went after Ken Tamplin, who has the chops and has not lost his voice, I got off the bus. - RG
Clarif: I saw Buckingham do it when videos were up of the 2017 tour he did with Christine McVie. Not sure if anyone picked up on it since. If you want a new "faking" video TJ, go look those up. Same thing - a sequencer enhances and sustains last note on one (probably more) of his chorus crescendos.
I actually had a John English 50th anniversary 1954 masterbuilt , when I ordered it I specified it had to be a John English built guitar so I had to wait a bit longer for it to be built. I ended up selling it , worse thing I’ve ever done it was the one guitar I should have kept . ☹️
That Les Paul funk playthrough tho... so good. The Strat is more authentic Pop/Funk style a la Prince or Nile Rogers, but the LP reminds me of 70s soul and 90's rnb in places. Like Wah Wah Watson's work with Herbie Hancock and Maxwell. Probably more of a testament to your playing!
That's the sound my friend i will try to find one great playing thanks for making this video
Great vid! Glenn is a good friend indeed. I’ve been to a couple of your gigs with him. Hope to see you again in the future too. 👏
Yes, I’d be upset to hear someone lip sync. I already hate it when artists use backing tracks, and/or harmonize with their selves- unless, it’s a demo. I even hate most studio recordings- they edited- you should sing the whole song for it to be real- I can’t even hardly enjoy music, unless it’s live- and now they’re auto tuning live music- it just ruins it for me. That’s the downside of being a musician and a musical ear 😬
Loved this video. What Milkman is that, I love their amps?
I understand Meisner and Frey cannot be there. But if you paid that much to see the "Eagles" without Don Felder, that's on you.
Don Henley needs to retire
Nice jam at the beginning. Those drums sounded very Alex-y.
Cannot download the tab. I have subscribed to your UA-cam channel. How can I get your guitar tab of pinball wizard?
That's strange! Send me an email at tom@tomwalkermusic.com and I'll email it to you.
@iamtjwalker I have requested the guitar tab via email. Please do share the tab.
Jesus 100 seems huge for a Bass VI.
I don't know about bass string gauges.....it does work though.
They need to get these axes out in a America pronto!!
Yeah, nice work. And I think you might get your dungarees from the same shop as the Gentle Giant bloke, and that's gotta count for something. Guess what? The great Dannielle DeAndrea won't be singing backup at the Joe show, because she's here in Australia at the moment: that cuts the value of a Joe show by around 50% in my book, but that's just me.
I'll check out the GG guy's dungas! I'll look up his singer....she sounds good!
Dude love your live guitar tone, what’s your rig setup?
On the acoustic?
Still a cool guitar collection
How do they do it for 160 quid? Because of the shipping. Out here in Indonesia it’s 100 quid!😂
he didnt believe its too cheap... now you tell it even cheaper 😂
@ Bromo have a big factory in East Java. We don’t have to pay the international shipping and customs so all the guitars for sale in EU/US are 35% cheaper here. Indonesia has become the main manufacturing location for lots of the big brands in the last few years. Yamaha, Schecter, Fender, Ibanez, PRS, Cort etc all have factories here. Those big brands are building guitars in huge volume so they are 50% cheaper here than in EU/US!😎
This guy is good. I would come to a show but I happen to be in San Diego Calif. I guess your videos will have to do. Very impressed with what you have going.. Best wishes for you and yours. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.
I'll let you know if we get to San Diego....one day i hope!
did you buy it? beautiful instrument, sounds like perfection
No.....too much money but it was lovely!
Wonderful keyboard. Bravo.
👏👏👏👏👏
Another great Vlog Tom, show casing your brilliant talent and wonderful band of true muscians and it was great to see Ellie singing with a full backing band, she did so well bless her. Also it was really nice to experience the different tones and sounds from all your lovely guitars,I had more fun at your gig than the last Joe Bonamassa concert I went to costing me a bargain price of £45.00 was a few years ago but not worth £115.00! And those are the cheap seats! I thought the camera man did an excellent job too 🤣 thanks mate 😊👍🏻👌🎸
Thanks! Excellent camera work as usual!
Mike is brilliant, makes me want to buy a keyboard 😃
House MD plays guitar 😮and he’s good too!!! You’re killing it man!!!
I'm just watching House for the first time.....late to the party but I love it!
Loved the deep dive review of the Maono mic! Your daughter is very talented and has a very sweet voice. God bless. Great content. Liked and subscribed! 😊❤
Nice thank you for the video! I have a Strat 1980 E series made in Japan. Do you have an idea how much it is worth? I bought it new back there lol Cheers!
Super cool. I always wonder how much gain Guthrie uses. If you have tone in your hands gain is detrimental. Lots of guys use Uber gain but it compresses everything and makes it sound monotone. Eddies tone was unforgiving in the 70s. All in the hands. Badass guitar. I also like the Floyd without tuners. Awesome dude.
Don Henley pays dozens to scour social media to remove Eagles material. I used to think it was because of copyright nonsense. But now the secret is out revealing the real reason.
i came across the bat2m model a while ago and played it, but could not buy it as it was the only demo guitar in the shop (was on back order). Just orderded the bat2ce model. Amazing value and great study guitar too
Its true
Fil rocks. His integrity is unsurpassed. ❤🤘
I recently bought the white version of this. unfortunately the body has a break.. Im hoping this guitar is as good as everybody is reviewing..
Time stamp for SRV?
Crikey, that evh stuff ain't easy. Nice one
Thanks for the video! Do you plug your guitar directly in the mixer or do you use a DI box with it?
Straight into the mixer out of my Quad Cortex....although I would plug it direct too.
Nice. I’m using the Dream 63 pedal for all my recordings. It’s perfect for me - does that chewy just breaking up thing. Then you can switch it to luke or SRV style mods. Which sing. Would like the lion too but have the Apollo which has a chunky Marshall unison. Also - very nice playing ❤
Fantastic playing Tom, and the tone is really nice wonderful stuff!
Hi, did you have the gain of the guitar low? I cant get clean sounds from this amps unless y lower the input to literally 0 and I saw you have the input in the middle.
I have the same problem with the plug in...my Dream pedal sounds great...but the plug in is noisy, weak, and distorted even at low input from my guitar...every preset sounds like a cheap Rockman.
@@nuendo2496Exactly! That’s the sound I get. But in every review sounds great! Dont know how they achieve that clean sound
You sir are amazing thank you
Many thanks TJ it's perfect.
A useful walk thru. Awesome band and song. Thanks!
